Sammy the Seal Catches Some Rays

"Young seal found sunning on beach

A juvenile harp seal spent much of the day yesterday sunbathing on a beach in Weymouth, a sight wildlife experts said should become increasingly common as temperatures continue to drop. The seal was reportedly "bright, alert, and responsive," although rescuers from the New England Aquarium were en route to Weymouth to make sure the animal is not in danger, according to Connie Merigo, director of the aquarium's stranding program. The main concern is that humans leave the seal alone.

Question: Would YOU like someone coming up and bothering YOU while YOU are sunning yourself on the beach, human?


All right then.
